Then she answered with calm assurance, “He's not that kind of man.”
“Just helpout,” Alan pleaded, trying his best to channel all the charm of a helpless, wide-eyed puppy. “If it
stays, I'll obsess over it nonstop and won't be able to concentrate at work.”
Freya stared at him.
He even started acting cutesy in desperation, like a mischievous kitten trying to win sympathy.
Freya had a soft spot for good-looking things—and people—and Alan, being her cousin who always treated her
kindly, easily fell into that category.
“Fine. I'll ask him. But if he refuses, we're not pushing it,” Freya clarified, laying down her boundaries.
Alan nodded quickly.

had already spun the entire situation into a full-blown soap opera.
“Sure.” Kristian’s voice was low, velvety, laced with something magnetic—but it was Freya he looked at when he
added, “But | have one condition.”
Alan knew it. He'd seen it coming a mile away.
Freya could feel the shift in Alan’s mood.
She didn’t address it, and instead turned to Kristian with cool composure. “What is it?”
“Go have dinner,” Kristian said, the words crisp and simple.
He hadn't forgotten Alan’s reaction earlier when he’d asked if they'd eaten.
His original plan had been to send Freya off with food via Gerard, knowing she wouldn't accept if he asked
directly.
But now, the opportunity was right here, and he wasn't letting it pass.

“Absolutely!” Alan agreed immediately.
